PetFinder.com asked shelters and rescue groups to tell them the most wacky or unusual
names for adoptable pets in their care this year!

I would have to agree these are some unusual names but not all of these names are new to us, earlier this year we made a pet tag for a pup named Jimmy Chews and we were just delighted to see that the name made it to this list.

Each year Petfinder looks through the 300,000+ pets listed on their service to find the top names for adoptable dogs and cats.

Each year we make a list too, and we can't wait to compare the two, this will not be posted until the end of the year so we have all data from the whole year available for you, in the meantime checkout the Petfinder results.

George Clooney's adorable story about rescuing his dog Einstein. He saw a video of a pound puppy on an animal shelter's website and knew immediately that Einstein was the pup he wanted to adopt.

Read below about how he cooked up his plan to win over Einstein, the full article is in the January 2012 Esquire, Meaning of Life Issue.

Hey, this is Einstein. I guess he's part cocker
spaniel or something. I got him out of a shelter about a year and a half
ago. I was looking for a dog because I hadn't had one for a while — and
I wanted one that was house-trained. I'm just terrible at
house-training dogs.

So I go online and see Einstein. They had a whole film about him. It
was actually really sweet. You see him all beat up and shit in the
shelter, and they show how they cleaned him up. God, I love this dog. So I called and said, "I like Einstein!"

The woman goes, "Well, we don't know if Einstein will like you."

"Well, can I meet with Einstein?"

"Yes, we'll bring him to your house, but if he doesn't like you, he
can't stay. We have to have good homes for these dogs." She sounded very
serious.

Okay. I have this really long driveway, and I open the gate for them,
and I start to panic that Einstein is not going to like me. So I run
into the kitchen, where I have these turkey meatballs, and I rub them
all over my shoes.

This woman opens the door, and who knew Einstein was such a food whore on top of everything? He throws himself at my feet.

She says, "I've never seen him react like that, ever!" And she left
him with me on the spot. And forever, now, he just thinks of me as the
guy with meatball feet.

I found this today and it put a smile on my face, I thought I would share it with all of you, it is a very cute read and I know some of you pet lovers can relate to this.

"Falling
in love is like owning a dog"

by Taylor
Mali

First of all, it's a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you're walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain't no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love
doesn't like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.

Is
love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love
makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don't you ever do that again!

Sometimes
love just wants to go for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise.
It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.
It pulls you in several different directions at once,
or winds around and around you
until you're all wound up and can't move.

But
love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw
things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.
